It's the 32nd annual Shad Festival, taking place rain or shine from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28 in Lambertville. On a sunny weekend, up to 40,000 winter-weary people have been known to come out to enjoy the event along the picturesque streets of this river city. More than 80 of the region's best artisans and crafters will be there this year as well, along with lots of food vendors hawking everything from fried oreos, hot dogs, taco salads and fried calamari to - well, shad, of course.
